Preparations for the 2011 SW Graduate School of Banking are complete, and the SWGSB/SMU Alumni Association is placing the finishing touches on a program guaranteed to entice you to return to the SMU Campus for an educational update and good times with your fellow classmates!

The 2011 Alumni Reunion Program will kick off on Thursday, June 2nd, at the SWGSB/SMU Keynote Address Banquet. 

On the morning of Friday, June 3rd, join the Alumni Association for a general business meeting, and afterward, you can choose from a wide selection of half-day electives and customize your weekend at SWGSB.  Friday evening, let the good times roll over at the alumni social hour and dinner with the officers of the SWGSB Alumni Association Board and other returning alumni.

On Saturday, June 4th, the Alumni Reunion Program continues by joining in with the morning’s educational program focusing on bank regulations and banking updates.  Next, the choice is yours!  Hit the links for the Annual Alumni Association Golf Tournament, at the Tribute Golf Club.  Fee includes cart, green fees, range balls, box lunch and two drink tickets.  You won’t want to miss this chance to show your classmates how you’ve improved your game since graduation!
